Indians re-signed INF Ryan Rohlinger to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Rohlinger spent all of 2013 at Triple-A Columbus, batting .266/.353/.367 with five homers. He'll compete for a utility job in spring training but will likely wind up back at Triple-A. Fri, Nov 1, 2013 12:55:00 PM

He was cleared to make room for Kevin Kouzmanoff on the 40-man roster. Rohlinger, 27, was claimed off waivers from the Giants in June and has a .289/.385/.464 with four homers, 30 RBI and an .849 OPS over 248 plate appearances with Triple-A Colorado Springs. There's a good chance he'll stick around. Wed, Aug 24, 2011 01:48:00 PM

Michael Brantley (shoulder) is slated to resume swinging a bat in late December.

Brantley had a lost 2016 season following a pair of shoulder surgeries, but the hope is that he's ready for the beginning of spring training. Still, he has to be considered a major question mark heading into 2017.

Cody Anderson underwent an arthroscopic debridement of his right elbow on Wednesday.

Anderson is expected to begin throwing in eight weeks and should be fine for the start of spring training next February, though he'll face an uphill battle for an Opening Day roster spot after registering a rough 6.68 ERA and 1.62 WHIP across 60 2/3 innings (nine starts, 10 relief appearances) for the Indians in 2016. Maybe the elbow was to blame.
